~Open Heart~
Uploaded: February 08, 2007 13:03:17
This is a heart created by pages from a magazine. The yellow behind the open pages is a big yellow candle. This is what created the glow in the picture in low lights. I took the picture with a tripod, 1/30, F5, ISO400. I used PS for curves, alittle saturation and soft blur. Hope you all like this! I have to be creative as there is not a lot to photograph right now. Have a wonderful day!
